Earthworks PotteryArt and craft is a very important component of life on the island of Barbados. In every parish, one will find some artist or artisan, whether local or naturalized resident, who has combined talent and ingenuity to create something special, whether in the medium of ceramics or clay, basketry, shell-work or macramé, just to name a few.
The owners of Earthwork Pottery, located in Edghill Heights, St. Thomas have created such. As one reaches the premises and starts to climb the steep steps to the display area, one of the first things noticed is the exterior of the building which invites and entices. It is painted in bright, cheerful colours and designs, providing more than a hint of what is to be found inside.
The owners and staff have pride in their workmanship and this is testimony to the fact that they have created and refined a brand which is microwavable, dishwasher safe, lead-free. In a snapshot, desirable yet practical!
Adding to the total atmosphere on the Edghill property, there is an Art House Café where light refreshments can be purchased and enjoyed while savouring the country breeze and the still quiet in the air. There is also a small gallery which focuses on showcasing unique pieces by mostly Barbadian artistes.
There is nothing ordinary about the pottery found at Earthworks, St. Thomas, Barbados.
